World waking up to Israeli atrocities in Palestinian lands: Pundit
Press TV interviewed Hafsa Kara-Mustapha, a journalist and Middle East expert from London, and Philippe Assouline, an international relations expert from Los Angeles, to discuss the EU’s decision to label the goods produced in the illegal Israeli settlements.
Kara-Mustapha slams the Tel Aviv regime for calling the European Union’s pro-Palestinian campaign as “anti-Semitic,” saying the regime uses such a word in a “ridiculous” and “preposterous” way to justify “every single atrocity” it commits against the Palestinian people.
She also highlights the rising support in the UK for a boycott campaign against Israelis, saying a recent poll revealed that 41 percent of young British Jews are opposed to Tel Aviv’s policies and back sanctions against the regime.
The public opinion worldwide, including in many Western countries, is waking up to Israeli atrocities against the oppressed Palestinians, says the journalist, adding that numerous freedom-seekers throughout the world are reacting to the regime’s crimes via the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS), which is aimed at putting economic and political pressure on Tel Aviv to end the occupation of Palestinian lands.
She also argues that Israelis acted like a “mafia” entity by dispatching commandos inside a hospital recently to kill a Palestinian without any trial to determine whether the man was guilty.
Assouline, however, believes a campaign of “emotional manipulation” has been underway against Israel over the past decades to provoke the public against the Zionists.
He argues that the increasing number of Jews in Europe who feel disconnected with the Zionist regime have long been under the influence of what he called anti-Israel media propaganda.
The analyst says a much more brutal occupation is going on at Europe’s doorsteps, while nobody complains about the situation in the continent, and there has been no campaign against European policies.
